![]() South Africa Special - Package 2
Kudu - Impala - Blesbuck |
Tour Code: OSA2 | Length: 7 days |
Our full time staff in the US will assist in every aspect of planning your safari. We are able to provide wholesale flights, as well as assist with all other travel arrangements, gun permitting, etc. After the hunt we have our own full service taxidermy shop in house and will either dip, pack & ship to your personal taxidermist or mount your trophies and ship them to your door. No doubt during this entire process you will have many questions, we are available to answer them with the convenience of a toll free call or email at any time. During the whole process you will deal with one person that takes care of every detail. We have been working in African for 20+ years and look forward to being at your side throughout the entire experience!
NOTE ON ALL PACKAGES: There is no refund for any animals not taken
while hunting on a package. All animals wounded but not recovered count against
animals in package. We will make every effort to recover your trophy. We have some
of the best trackers in Africa as well as some of the best tracking dogs you will
ever see. Very few get away! Also please note that there is no charge for the
day you arrive and the day you depart. For example for example a 7 day
hunt is actually 9 days as we pick you up at the airport and return you with everything taken care
of in-between. You only pay for the time you are in the field hunting. At all
times we treat you like a member of our family.

All of our hunting is strictly fair
chase. Our primary method is spot and stalk. We have blinds and tree
stands as well and hunt with rifle, bow, pistol and black powder. We
have farms designated bow only. We do not hunt from vehicles or in pens!
Also we are not tied to one property. Our home farm of 5000 acres serves
as a base from which we access over 250,000 acres of prime hunting land
leased exclusively by us.
Trophy quality is guaranteed because of our
trophy game management policies. Only mature animals are taken and a
limited quota is set for each property. This allows a large number of
animals on the land and also gives them time to mature into the quality
trophies you seek. Our animals are all natural production and not bought
at action and stocked. Our exclusive leases with landowners assures that
we are the only ones taking the prime specimens off their properties.
Seasons are reversed in South Africa from North America. May-August is
winter and temperatures can get quite cold. Perfect hunting weather! Nov
through March has warm to hot days followed by warm evenings. We usually
hunt early and late this time of year with plenty of time to relax
during the day.
On our hunts you will be accompanied by a certified professional
hunter. This will be either one client and one PH or two clients and one
PH depending on how you want it. We NEVER mix groups! Even if there is
only one of you, you will have exclusive use of the lodges during your
hunt and not be mixed with hunters that you do not know. We have four
different lodges at our disposal and often move between them depending
on what species you are hunting. As stated above we are not tied to one
property like many other operations and can move to were the best
specimens of the species you are hunting are located.
Non-hunters are more than welcome! We encourage our clients to bring
their families and offer a non hunting rate that reflects this. If your
non hunter does not want to follow you in the field many optional tours
can be arranged. We have many opportunities from camera safari to spas
and golf. We will be glad to put together an exciting program of day
trips from the lodge for the non hunter.
Additional animals can be taken on all of our packages according to
the following trophy prices. All additional animals are to be paid for
in South Africa in cash or travelers checks. As always all animals wounded
but not recovered must be paid for in full.

OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES
Below we have some of the many additional non hunting activities that we offer from our lodges. At many hunting lodges the ladies find themselves isolated out in the country with nothing much to do during the hunting days. This is not the case with us! Our hunting area is unique in that we are not located out in the countryside hours away from towns and civilization. We can offer many activities from classic photo safari to golf and even skydiving! All of this and more can be found a short drive from our lodges. We have always believed that Africa is to be experienced as a family. This is one hunt were the non-hunters have more fun then the hunters! While you are off stalking game your non-hunters will be on the holiday of a lifetime. Below is a short list of possible options. If you have other interests then please let us know and we will design a program just for you!

Well our long-awaited trip to South Africa has come to an end and it's back to reality. We want to thank you "again" for everything you did for us from the very beginning. Without your interaction, I don't think the trip would have turned out as well as it did from the transportation to the accommodations, to the overall trip itself. You made it so easy and it is very much appreciated.
Our trip to South Africa was everything and more than what we had hoped for. I truly had the best time of my life; I didn't even want to come home (other than missing my family)! I have never experienced anything quite like it, and definitely plan on going back. James and his family were the greatest, even though the time spent with them was minimal, I felt a true connection. The "client" is the business, but they certainly aren't treated as such. As a client, you end up feeling more like part of their family. The PH we had was the best!!! His name was Dave (never did find out his last name) and, let me tell you, he is one Hell of a PH and individual. His patience, persistence, determination and overall personality was tremendous! He made everything worthwhile! In fact, when we make arrangements for our next trip to South Africa, it will be with a request for him to be our PH.
My brother shot all his animals and decided to also take a female Wildebeest. His toughest challenge though was the Kudu and he truly believed he had a "Kudu Curse". It took four long days of stalking (seeing plenty of females), etc., until he shot a beautiful bull. In fact, the awe of everything made me also want to take an animal and so I did that very thing. I had never shot a rifle nor hunted an animal before. I have nothing against hunting because I was born into a family of hunters and married a hunter and now my son also hunts. It's just that I thought I could never kill an animal. Well my way of thinking was changed once I was in South Africa. Just being there and experiencing the whole hunting scenario pulled me right in. I felt as though I also wanted to personally experience the hunt and so it began. Dave took me to the rifle range and I shot a 300 magnum four times at 100 yards. The first shot was to the left of the paper, the second shot I nipped the left edge of the paper, and the third was a little further in on the paper, but all in the same vicinity (to the left). Then Dave shot to see if the gun was shooting to the left and such was the case. So after Dave readjusted the scope, I shot the fourth time and was on the middle crease of the paper about two inches in from the left side and so the hunt was on. Dave felt as though the best animal for me to shoot due to my lack of experience would be a Blesbuck. The stalk was on and I am proud to say I shot and killed my very first animal at approximately 120 yards with a 300 magnum, one shot, a few steps, and down. I thought if I ever killed an animal I would cry with guilt. I did cry, but it was due to pride and happiness. Charlie was so proud of me that he came running down the hill and hugged me and we almost fell to the ground. So the next trip will be a Zebra for me, a lioness for my brother, and a few others for Sabo.
Well, Ed, I(we) want to thank you again for everything and you will be hearing from us in the very near future about making arrangements for our deep-sea fishing trip to Costa Rica next year and then after that our next trip to South Africa.
Talk to you later!

Home Farm:
Hunting Africa is the lifelong dream of many sportsmen. We have
designed our packages to bring Africa within reach of everyone. This
hunt takes place in the Eastern Cape area of South Africa. This is a
region of varied terrain from fertile valleys to steep mountains. It is
home to large numbers of game. The Karoo is cattle and sheep country
much like the American South West. Many of the farmers allow us to
manage game on their property for extra income. Eighty percent of our
hunting takes place on the open range with standard cattle and sheep
fencing. The other twenty percent is on high fence ranches. Certain
species can only be hunted year round in a high fence area, thus we need
to use these properties as well.
Our lodges vary from an authentic bush lodge with thatched roof cabins
to a very comfortable former South African farm house with all the
modern convinces. Africa is literally out the front door. All meals will
be prepared by our staff and include many wild game dishes as well as
homemade salads and deserts. You will not go hungry! We include all soft
drinks, juices, water and tea and coffee as well as local beer and
wines. We pride ourselves on offering not only a great hunt but also a
complete experience including great food, good company and many
additional features that others charge extra for.

and can't wait to go back. We hunted hard every day and Allen made sure I took all the game I was after and then some. I can't
say enough about what fantastic PH and host Allen was. When I tell my hunting stories to customers, they want to know who I hunted
with. I am highly recomending you. You should sent me cards and hand outs that you take to shows. I will be glad to send my
customers to you. I just had the best time. I took around 2500 photos.
Thanks Ed, the hunt was outstanding. Here are some photos, I will be happy to send more if you like.
Thanks again.
Chris
